Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning Malfunction and Limitations

If the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning does not operate properly, the message "Check Rear Cross-Traffic Safety System" may appear, andthe warning light may illuminate on the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

If the side mirror indicator does not operate properly, the "Check Side Mirror Indicator" warning message may appear andthe warning light may illuminate on the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

If the rear corner radar is blocked or covered, or when the rear bumper around the rear corner radar or sensor is covered with foreign material such as snow, rain, or dirt, or when a trailer or towing device is installed, the detection performance may decrease and temporarily limit or disable the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning.

The rear cross-traffic safety system is malfunctioning. The "Radar Blocked" warning message may appear on the instrument cluster.

The system operates normally when such foreign material, trailer, or carrier is removed and the engine is restarted.

If the system does not operate normally after anything covering or blocking the sensors is removed, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

• The Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning may malfunction even if there is no warning message or warning light on the instrument cluster.
• The Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning may not operate properly in open areas where no objects are detected (e.g., an empty parking lot) or when the detection sensors are blocked on the right after the engine is started.
• Always turn off the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning when towing a trailer or using a towing carrier.
